President Barack Obama, seen this week at the White House, promised Americans again and again that "If you like your health-care plan, you'll be able to keep your health-care plan. Period." With the Oct. 1 launch of the "Obamacare" website, that has proven to be false. Hundreds of thousands of people nationwide are getting notices from their insurance providers saying their policies don't meet the standards set by the Affordable Care Act of 2010 and therefore are being canceled.

Period."
